Civil Engineer Structural Engineer information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Civil/Structural Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Civil/Structural Engineer, you need a solid background in structural analysis, design principles, mathematics, and a relevant engineering degree, often supported by licensure such as a PE (Professional Engineer) certification. Proficiency with CAD software, structural analysis tools (like SAP2000 or ETABS), and familiarity with building codes and standards is typically required. Strong problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and effective communication skills help you collaborate with clients, architects, and construction teams. These competencies are crucial to ensure safe, efficient, and compliant infrastructure projects from concept to completion.

What are some common challenges faced by structural engineers on multidisciplinary project teams?

Structural engineers often work closely with architects, mechanical engineers, and contractors, which can lead to challenges in coordinating design intentions, timelines, and technical requirements. Ensuring that the structural design integrates seamlessly with architectural aesthetics and MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) systems is crucial, and may require frequent communication and compromise. Managing changes in project scope or addressing unforeseen site conditions can also add complexity, making adaptability and strong collaboration skills essential for success.

What does a Civil Engineer Structural Engineer do?

A Civil Engineer Structural Engineer is responsible for designing, analyzing, and overseeing the construction of structures such as buildings, bridges, and tunnels to ensure they are strong, stable, and safe. They use principles of physics and mathematics to evaluate how structures will withstand forces like gravity, wind, and earthquakes. Structural engineers often collaborate with architects and construction teams, select appropriate building materials, and ensure projects comply with safety codes and regulations.

What is the difference between Civil Engineer Structural Engineer vs Civil Engineer?

AspectCivil EngineerStructural Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's in Civil Engineering, PE license often requiredBachelor's in Civil or Structural Engineering, PE license often required
Work EnvironmentConstruction sites, design offices, urban planningDesign offices, construction sites, structural analysis labs
Industry UsageBroadly involved in infrastructure, transportation, water resourcesSpecialized in designing and analyzing structures like buildings and bridges
Common Search/ComparisonYesYes

While both Civil Engineers and Structural Engineers work within the construction and infrastructure industry, Civil Engineers have a broader scope, handling various projects like transportation and water systems. Structural Engineers focus specifically on the safety and stability of structures. Both roles require similar credentials and often collaborate on projects, but their primary responsibilities differ.

Job description

Equinox Engineering Ltd. is a leading Calgary-based EPCM firm delivering innovative facility design and engineering solutions across natural gas, conventional oil, heavy oil, SAGD, and emerging energy sectors. We partner with top energy producers across Canada and internationally to design safe, reliable, and efficient facilities from early concept through execution and operation.
We are seeking an  Intermediate Civil / Structural Engineer who is eager to grow technical capability and project execution skills within a multidisciplinary EPCM environment. In this role, you will support the civil and structural scope on oil and gas facilities and infrastructure projects-contributing to design, analysis, drafting support, and construction-phase responses under the guidance of senior engineers.
Why Join Equinox?
  • Meaningful work on high-impact oil and gas facilities, pipelines, and SAGD projects
  • A people-focused culture that values technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous improvement
  • Opportunity to execute civil/structural scopes on multidisciplinary EPCM projects
  • Exposure to diverse facilities projects across Canada and international markets
  • A flexible and supportive work environment designed for long-term career growth

What You'll Do
As an Intermediate Civil / Structural Engineer, you will help deliver safe, constructible, and code-compliant designs. Your role will include:
Structural & Civil Design Support
  • Support the design and analysis of steel, concrete, and foundation systems for oil and gas facilities and related infrastructure
  • Prepare structural calculations, design checks, and supporting engineering documentation under supervision
  • Develop engineering sketches and markups for drafting/design staff to produce structural models and design drawings
  • Assist with material take-offs (MTOs), quantities, and work packages
Coordination & Team Collaboration
  • Coordinate with process, piping, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation disciplines to gather inputs and resolve interface items
  • Participate in design reviews and incorporate feedback from senior engineers and other stakeholders
  • Communicate effectively with internal teams and, as appropriate, clients and vendors
Project Execution & Delivery
  • Support the delivery of civil/structural deliverables to meet scope, schedule, and quality requirements
  • Assist with procurement support activities (e.g., reviewing vendor data, responding to technical queries)
Construction & Field Support
  • Support responses to RFIs, field queries, and engineering clarifications during construction
  • Participate in site visits/inspections as required, with guidance from senior staff
Safety, Quality & Compliance
  • Follow engineering quality processes and support checking/verification practices
  • Help ensure designs align with applicable codes, standards, and project specifications (e.g., CSA, CISC, NBC, provincial codes)

About You
You are a developing civil/structural engineer who enjoys practical design work, learning from experienced engineers, and contributing to multidisciplinary projects. You bring:
  • Bachelor's degree in Civil/Structural Engineering (required)
  • P.Eng. registration/eligibility with APEGA (required)
  • 5-8 years of relevant civil/structural engineering experience (oil & gas facilities experience preferred but not required)
  • Strong communication, organization, and collaboration skills
  • A detail-oriented, analytical approach to problem-solving

Technical Foundation
  • Structural analysis/design exposure for steel and concrete structures
  • Understanding of loads, foundations, and connection concepts (bolted/welded)
  • Familiarity with industry design standards and drawing practices
  • Familiarity with Canadian design codes and standards, including the National Building Code of Canada, CSA S16, and CSA A23.3
  • Familiarity with US and/or Australian codes and standards would be an asset
Software Proficiency
  • Working knowledge of structural tools such as RISA 3D (or equivalent), STAAD, SAP2000, S-FRAME, and MS Excel
If you're passionate about engineering excellence, enjoy leading technical scopes, and want to contribute to innovative and impactful energy projects, we'd love to hear from you.
